The Molasses: John Brown
Episode description
“Slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States is none other than a most barbarous, unprovoked, and unjustifiable War of one portion of its citizens upon another portion; the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment, and hopeless servitude or absolute extermination; in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence.” John Brown. But was he a mad man, or a genius? A hero, or a villain? One thing that can be said for sure is that in his 59 years of life, John Brown caused a heck of a lot of mayhem.
